List of positive integer factors of 5735 that divides 5735 without a remainder.
1,5,31,37,155,185,1147,5735
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6371,5735 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6371,5735 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,754
2 | 72, 754 |
36, 377 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 36 x 377 = 27144
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/27144
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6371/72,5735/754 is 1/27144
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 72,754 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,754) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(72,754) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(72,754) = ( 72 × 754 ) / 2
LCM(72,754) = 54288 / 2
LCM(72,754) = 27144
